Just wondering if you guys can help me out with something. Im looking for a good filler and I'm debating if I should fill my 14pannel with sand. I want to have other peoples opinions on this seeing that im not experienced. I also am wondering what type of material to use for a 32pannel bag, and what filler I should use for that. Theres a pic of my the bag below.

i fill mine with a combination of poly pellets and bb's... most people use ultra suede light, and buy it from www.fieldsfabrics.com/ultra/lgtlist.htm .... personally i use natural deer suede right now, because it is thin and soft and i have a bunch of it.

you think i can go to a local fabric store and buy ultrasuede, and where do i get bb's andpolly pellets from?

poly pellets from fabric stores too or walmart. thats where i got mine. 3$ for a 2lb bag. you can pretty much make 50-100 footbags with that amount.

and bbs from any gun shop. or places that sell gun. but you will need to be 18+ to buy. i got mine in a canadian tire here in town.

but, some ppl will also say they use steel shots. i havent found anywhere besides the net for those.

Thanks guys, that was really helpful but do you use regular beach sand to fill up a 14pannel or a special type of sand(texturewise).

you wnat something rougher than regular beach sand because its so fine...(if we are thinking of the same thing) and because its so fine it will leak a lot more than coarser snad

Ya, we're thinking of the same thing, so where would i get this coarser sand from?

i live in the desert so sand is very easy to come by... but if you can't find some on the ground, maybe at home depot, or some place that sells plants and soil?
